Illuminate Colorado is excited to announce the upcoming release of our newly published report – Increasing Access to Child Care for Parents & Caregivers Seeking SUD Treatment & Recovery Services: Practice & Policy Recommendations.
The Report is Here!
You can now explore practice and policy recommendations for improving child care access for parents and caregivers seeking substance use disorder treatment and recovery services.
In 2025, Illuminate was contracted by the Colorado Department of Early Childhood to conduct a stakeholder process to establish updated recommendations to increase access to child care for families impacted by substance use disorders (SUDs). Throughout 2025 and the first half of 2026, Illuminate reviewed updated data and research and engaged leaders from across the state with subject matter expertise to develop practice and policy recommendations. Today, we are excited to invite you to the Report Release Webinar!
Learn more and join the conversation!
Join us virtually on Wednesday, Sept. 2, 10-11am, to learn more about the stakeholder project, dive into the recommendations, and discuss opportunities to advance policy and practice to promote child care access for families impacted by substance use.
When: Wednesday, Sept. 2 10-11am MT
Where: Virtual (Zoom)
We look forward to sharing the full report at our report release launch.
